General Safety Rules

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool.

Electrical safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator. If operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used to supply the power to your tool. GFCI and personal protection devices like electricians rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal safety.

Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Use battery tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Battery tool use and care
Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

Wire and bristle brushes must never be operated at speeds greater than 15,000/min. Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you. Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity during the cleaning action with these brushes and may become imbedded in your skin. Bristles or wires will be discharged from the brush at high speeds. Wear protective gloves and face shield with wire or bristle brushes. Apply wire or bristle brushes lightly to the work as only the tips of the wire/bristles do the work. Heavy pressure on bristles will cause the wire or bristle to become overstressed, resulting in a wiping action and will cause the bristles/wire to be discharged. Carefully handle both the tool and individual grinding wheels to avoid chipping or cracking. Install a new wheel if tool is dropped while grinding. Do not use a wheel that may be damaged. Fragments from a wheel that bursts during operation will fly away at great velocity possibly striking you or bystanders. Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care. Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit to break. Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Allow for sufficient space, at least 6", between your hand and the spinning bit. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to bite or jump toward you. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use both hands to control the tool. Inspect your workpiece before cutting. When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the bit and be torn from your hand. For example, if carving wood, make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece. Nails or foreign objects can cause the bit to jump. Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab the material causing loss of control of the cutter. Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control and kick-back. The direction of feed with the bit into the material when carving, routing or cutting is very important. Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction, causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed. If the workpiece or bit becomes jammed or bogged down, turn the tool OFF by the switch. Wait for

Do not engage lock while the Rotary Tool is running.
COLLETS Four different size collets (see illustration), to accommodate different shank sizes, are available for your Cordless Rotary Tool. To install a different collet, remove the collet nut and remove the old collet. Insert the unslotted end of the collet in the hole in the end of the tool shaft. Replace collet nut on the shaft. Always use the collet which matches the shank size of the accessory you plan to use. Never force a larger diameter shank into a collet. To change accessories, turn tool off, slide shaft lock button toward nose of tool, and turn collet nut counterclockwise (approximately three turns). Change accessories by inserting the new one into the collet as far as possible to minimize runout and unbalance. With the shaft lock engaged, finger tighten the collet nut until the accessory shank is gripped by the collet. Avoid excessive tightening of the collet nut. BALANCING ACCESSORIES For precision work, it is important that all accessories be in good balance (much the same as the tires on your automobile). To

true up or balance an accessory, slightly loosen collet nut and give the accessory or collet a 1/4 turn. Retighten collet nut and run the Tool. You should be able to tell by the sound and feel if your accessory is running in balance. Continue adjusting in this fashion until best balance is achieved. To maintain balance on abrasive wheel points, before each use, with the wheel point secured in the collet, turn on the Stylus and run the 415 Dressing Stone lightly against the revolving wheel point. This removes high spots and trues up the wheel point for good balance.

Operation Instructions

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Dremel Stylus. This tool was designed to give you the ultimate precision and control when working on your projects. The ergonomic housing is designed for you to hold and control this tool like a pencil, between your thumb and forefinger. When held in this position (see page 11) you can hardly feel the lightweight and compact tool in your hand! It is intended to simply be an extension of your hand.

Page 9

The Dremel Stylus is designed for intricate, detailed, precise use, where control is needed. It comes with an assortment of Premium accessories that are specifically designed for fine, detailed work where you need precision and control. It is intended to be used on applications such as finish sanding, engraving, carving, etching, polishing, and cleaning, to name a few. The Dremel Stylus is small, light, and compact to give you the ultimate precision and control when working on your projects. Your Dremel Stylus has a small, powerful electric motor, is comfortable in the hand, and is made to accept a large variety of accessories including abrasive wheels, drill bits, wire brushes, polishers, and engraving cutters. Accessories come in a variety of shapes and permit you to do a number of different jobs. As you become familiar with the range of accessories and their uses, you will learn just how versatile your Dremel Stylus is. Youll see dozens of uses you hadnt thought of before now. The real secret of the Dremel Stylus is its speed. To understand the advantages of its high speed, you have
to know that the standard portable electric drill runs at speeds up to 2,800 revolutions per minute. The typical electric drill is a low-speed, high torque tool; the Dremel Stylus is just the opposite a high-speed, low torque tool. The chief difference to the user is that in the high speed tools, the speed combined with the accessory mounted in the collet does the work. You dont apply pressure to the tool, but simply hold and guide it. In the low speed tools, you not only guide the tool, but also apply pressure to it, as you do, for example, when drilling a hole. It is this high speed, along with its compact size and wide variety of special accessories that makes your Dremel Stylus different from other power tools. The speed enables it to do jobs low speed tools cannot do, such as cutting hardened steel, engraving glass, etc. Getting the most out of your Dremel Stylus is a matter of learning how to let this speed work for you. Visit www.dremel.com to lear more about what you can do with your Dremel Stylus.

second. If your tool is not turning on immediately, try holding the button down longer to turn the tool on.

Charging the Tool

Your Dremel Stylus does not come completely charged from the factory. Be sure to charge tool prior to initial use.

Stall Protection

This tool has a stall protection feature built into it to protect the motor and battery in the event of a stall. If you stall the tool for too long, or bind the bit in a work piece, especially at high speeds, it will automatically turn itself off. Simply take the tool out of the material you were stalled in, turn it off for 3 seconds, then turn it back on again to continue using it. When the battery becomes close to empty, the tool may shut down automatically more frequent than normal. If this happens, it is time to recharge the battery.

To charge the tool:

1. Turn tool off. 2. Place tool in docking station as shown in figure 1. 3. Plug charger into power source. Green light ON=charging. Solid green OFF=charging completed. Charger will automatically stop charging the battery when charging is completed. It is ok to leave tool on charger continually. 4. Charger will require approximately 3 hours to charge a completely discharged battery.

Delay Start Switch

Your Stylus tool is equipped with a momentary delayed on/off switch to protect from accidental starting of your tool. To turn your tool on, you must hold the button down for approximately one half of one

Important Charging Notes
This tool was designed with a lithium ion battery and docking station for the following benefits: 1. Lithium-ion battery will hold its charge while in storage for up to 2 years so its always ready when you need it. 2. You can place the tool on the charger and recharge it at any time without reducing the original factory charge capacity. 3. Docking station was designed to use as a place to store your tool while you are working on your projects. Simply place the tool in the charger when youre not using it on your project, and it will continually recharge the battery so it will run longer for you. 4. Docking station is also designed to be your permanent storage device for your Stylus tool. Keep it on your workbench or countertop, charged and ready for when you need it for your next project. 5. The charger was designed to fast charge the battery only when the battery temperature is between 40F (4C) and 105F (41C).

6. A substantial drop in operating time per charge may mean that the battery pack is nearing the end of its life and should be replaced. To replace an old battery, contact Dremel customer service at 1-800-4DREMEL. The Dremel Service Center can install a new battery and ship it back to you within 48 hours of receiving your tool. 7. If battery does not charge properly: a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in some other electrical device. b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a light switch which turns power off when lights are turned off. c. Check charger terminals for dirt. Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if necessary. d. If you still do not get proper charging, send tool and charger to your Dremel Service Center. e. Check to see if tool is properly placed in charger (see page 7) Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not sold by Dremel may void the warranty.

Using the Stylus

Your Dremel Stylus comes with an assortment of Premium Dremel accessories that are designed for fine, detailed work where you need precision control. It is intended to be used on applications such as finish sanding, engraving, carving, etching, polishing, and cleaning, to name a few. Your Dremel Stylus is small, light, and compact to give you the ultimate precision and control when working on your projects. The first step in learning to use the Dremel Stylus is to get the feel of it. Hold it in your hand and feel its weight and balance. Feel the taper of the housing. This taper permits the tool to be grasped much like a pen or pencil. (See page 11 for recommended way to hold the stylus. When you use an accessory for the first time, hold it away from your face. Accessories can be damaged during handling, and can fly apart as they come up to speed. This is not common, but it does happen.
Practice on scrap materials first to see how the Dremel Stylus cuts. Keep in mind that the work is done by the speed of the tool and by the accessory in the collet. You should not lean on or push the tool into the work. Instead, lower the spinning accessory lightly to the work and allow it to touch the point at which you want cutting (or sanding or etching, etc.) to begin. Concentrate on guiding the tool over the work using very little pressure from your hand. Allow the accessory to do the work. Usually, it is best to make a series of passes with the tool rather than attempting to do all the work in one pass. To make a cut, for example, pass the tool back and forth over the work, much as you would a small paint brush. Cut a little material on each pass until you reach the desired depth. For most work, the deft, gentle touch is best. With it, you have the best control, are less likely to make errors, and will get the most efficient work out of the accessory.

Wire Brushes

Three different shapes of wire brushes are available. For best results wire brushes should be used at speeds not greater than 15,000 RPM. Refer to Operating Speeds section for proper tool speed setting. The three shapes come in three different materials: stainless steel, brass and carbon wire. The stainless steel perform well on pewter, aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals, without leaving "afterrust". Brass brushes are non sparking, and softer than steel; making them good for use on soft metal like gold, cooper and brass. The carbon wire brushes are good for general purpose cleaning.

Polishing Accessories

These include an impregnated polishing point and an impregnated polishing wheel for bringing metal surfaces to smooth finish; a felt polishing tip and felt polishing wheel, and cloth polishing wheel, all used for polishing plastics, metals, jewelry and small parts. Also included in this group is a polishing compound (No. 421) for use with the felt and cloth polishers. Polishing points make a very smooth surface, but a high luster is obtained using felt or cloth wheels and polishing compound. For best results polishing accessories should be used at speeds not greater than 15,000 RPM. No polishing compound is needed when using the 425 Polishing Wheel or 427 Polishing point.

Bristle Brushes

These are excellent cleaning tools on silverware, jewelry and antiques. The three shapes make it possible to get into tight corners and other difficult places. Bristle brushes can be used with polishing compound for faster cleaning or polishing.
Aluminum Oxide Abrasive Wheels
Use to remove paint, deburr metal, polish stainless steel and other metals. Available in fine and medium grits. 1/8" shank.

Brushing Pressure

1. Remember, the tips of a wire brush do the work. Operate the brush with the lightest pressure so only the tips of the wire come in contact with the work. 2. If heavier pressures are used, the wires will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping action; and if this is continued, the life of the brush will be shortened due to wire fatigue. 3. Apply the brush to the work in such a way that as much of the brush face as possible is in full contact with the work. Applying the side or edge of the brush to the work will result in wire breakage and shortened brush life.
CORRECT: Wire tips doing the work.

Sanding Accessories

Sanding discs in fine, medium and coarse grades are made to fit mandrel No. 402. They can be used for nearly any small sanding job you might have, from model making to fine furniture finishing. In addition, there is the drum sander, a tiny drum which fits into the Rotary Tool and makes it possible to shape wood, smooth fiberglass, sand inside curves and other difficult places, and other sanding jobs. You replace the sanding bands on the drum as they become worn and lose their grit. Bands come in fine and coarse grades. Flapwheels grind and polish flat or contoured surfaces. They are used most effectively as a finishing sander after heavier surface sanding and material removal is completed. Flapwheels come in fine and coarse grades. Buffs are a great finishing accessory for cleaning and light sanding. They work effectively on metal, glass, wood, aluminum and plastics. Coarse and medium buffs are sold together. 1/8" shank.
INCORRECT: Excessive pressure can cause wire breakage.

Grinding Wheel

Use for deburring, removing rust, and general purpose grinding. Use with Mandrel #402.

Cutting Wheels
These thin discs of emery or fiberglass are used for slicing, cutting off and similar operations. Use them for cutting off frozen bolt heads and nuts, or to reslot a screw head which has become so damaged that the screwdriver wont work in it. Fine for cutting BX cable, small rods, tubing, cable and cutting rectangular holes in sheet metal.
Mandrel No. 401 is used with the felt polishing tip and wheels. Thread the tip on to the screw carefully. The felt tip must thread down straight on the screw Mandrel, and be turned all the way to the collar.

Mandrel No. 402 has a small screw at its tip, and is used with emery cutting wheels and sanding discs. Higher speeds, usually maximum, are best for most work, including cutting steel. Which is shown here.

The machine-screw threading on Mandrel No. 424 threads into polishing point No. 427. This and other threaded mandrels must be screwed firmly down to the collar before being used.
To replace a band on the Drum Sander, loosen the screw without removing it to contract the drum then slide the old band off. Slide the new sanding band on and then expand the drum by tightening the screw once again. Before each use, check to make certain that all components are assembled to accessory shank and that the drum is sufficiently expanded to secure the band during use. If sanding band is loose on the drum during operation it may fly off and strike you or bystanders.
